Now, that would be a reason for wanting cell phones to appear a few decades before their time. Oh, the joys of retail. I used to go out and pick up the trash in a Fred Meyer parking lot. People would just dump the oddest stuff there. One time I found a suitcase with a dead cat in it. The problem was that people, who might not have known about the contents, spent the day before running over it with their cars.

You will never run out of ideas for stories if you spent 10 years in retail Jerry. I would be more than satisfied to hear all the weirdest ones you have experienced. This is an excellent episode. Thanks!

Wow, you guys have raised the bar on production values—incredible work! This piece has a great, almost Chuck-Jones-like feel to the short vignettes that punctuate the main story line. I loved the silhouette technique in the bathtub, and the long shadow on the wall during the “longest two hours”, as well as the scrolling montage that gives the back story of the killer. Really great!

Thanks for noticing! When I animate these things I try to put a lot of little details in there so they hold up to repeat viewings. My personal favorite in this episode was the little shake the guy who pee’d in the basement did.

Funny. As always. Thanks for the shots of Hertel Avenue. And the Courier Express banner. It all looked good from here in Harm City (Baltimore). Send some Mighty Taco. And a couple dogs from Louie’s. Thanks.

I’d love to know from the guy that worked at the Buffallo Fotohut, what ole Chainsaw was snapping away at. Joel Peter Witkin-ish scenes of the macabre or O’keefe pastoral still lifes? I guess we’ll never know.

Wonderful work, guys. One of your best. I just love the “mood” of your episodes; absolutely fascinating. Everything fits: the music, the animation, and of course Jerry’s voice. Like an old-time radio show, your work feels cozy and familiar. It’s like you’ve been around forever! I look forward to many more years of your very special kind of entertainment.

I’m speechless Jerry, your message at this episode was very powerful. Congratulations on bringing another masterpiece to life! I totally agree with you, my business also focuses on people and you never know who is going to be your next client, it’s very important to keep your cool… I truly believe a stranger is a friend you haven’t met yet… I can’t wait for the next episode…
